This fixes the "invalid microop" bug people have been seeing on
m5-users. There's another bug in the simple timing CPU where it just
stops executing instructions after a while in X86_FS and I'm still
looking into that. I haven't tried X86_FS with O3 yet and there may be a
hiccup or two. Other than that the quick regressions on X86_SE and
X86_FS work with this patch.
